VHF Antenna by
David Wilson
I need a better antenna for the handheld radio in our homebuilt. Fisher
Horizon 2 wood and fabric construction. I thought I had found a
construction article for one that could be mounted internally in the
fuselage behind the pilots seat. It may of been Jim Weirs' design but I
can't find it. As...

Foam ? by
Neil
Ok, I am restoring a hovercraft, not a airplane, but the techniques may be
the same....I hope.
I have to bond foam into a existing fibreglass shell, to support the
fibreglass, and to make the unit float in water. The original builder used
canned foam, with pretty poor results. Any ideas?
Thanks in...

What can anyone tell me about "loss of oil pump prime" on a small
Continental?
I have heard of it in the past and it has happened to me.
The engine in question is a C-85 that has been very recently overhauled to
new limits. The case and accessory case was overhauled by ECI. New oil pump
gears,...

Would a 3 million Candlepower spotlight make a good landing light? by
Legrande Harris
I need to buy a landing light to mount in a fiberglass cowl. I have
been looking at Zenon HID's, halogens, etc., but the most powerful seems
to be a halogen Spotlight.
I am not sure what the current draw is but I would guess about 6 amps?
I will strip the batteries off of it and run straight...

McCullough Two-Stroke Relaibility by
Gordon Arnaut
I heard someone here not too long ago mention a reliability problem with the
old McCullough two-strokes as used in the drone aircraft.
The same person also mentioned that there are modifications to address those
problems.
I wonder if that poster could jump in and give me the scoop on that. I...

The National Lake Eutrophication Survey 1971-1973 by
Badwater Bill
The following is to the best of my recollection. I haven't even
changed the name of a buddy I was with during these events. I may be
wrong about some of the statistics, like the number of divorces and
number of hot babes in the restaurants, but I'm close. Almost none of
this is an exageration...

goes for approx. $10.00 a linear ft. more. Who is a good source for
carbon fiber purchase?

John in Kentucky Asks by
jls
Where can I find a set of pistons to hop up an O-200?
Answer: John, use stock C-85 pistons. They are 3/8" higher than O-200
pistons and will give you that "pop-up" effect, that is, a little higher
compression. Not legal, of course, in a certified aircraft, or aircraft
engine you plan to...

37 degree fitting by
Ernest Christley
The most recent Sport Aviation has an article on make up hoses. The
author states that 'you must use 37 degree fittings' and as is typical,
gives no reason why. Is there a reason for this that involves the laws
of nature, vs the "laws of the FAA"?
